Product Description The Living Top & Pond is a beautifully sculpted, nature-inspired garden water feature handcrafted in solid cast stone concrete to replicate genuine weathered sandstone rock. It showcases a multi-tiered rock spillway top that cantilevers gracefully over the matching freeform pond basin below. Water wells smoothly in the elevated top pool before trickling across natural stone shelves and cascading softly into the shallow reservoir pool.

Weighing 65kg with a balanced 1.0m width by 1.4m depth and an accessible 45cm low profile, this concrete set delivers outstanding wind stability and outdoor durability without dominating your landscape. Its warm, earthy rock tones integrate naturally into flowerbeds, low borders, rockeries, and patio nooks, creating a calming sensory atmosphere and a welcoming freshwater haven for garden birds and pollinators.

Installation & Foundation Guide Install on a firm, flat, and well-compacted foundation to evenly distribute the 65kg weight. A level base of compacted crusher run, sturdy garden pavers, or a flat concrete surface is ideal. Check the pond rim with a spirit level before filling to ensure the water level remains uniform and the cascade flows smoothly across each rock shelf. Submerge a standard submersible pond pump inside the basin and run flexible tubing up to the top intake behind the Living Top (submersible pump sold separately).

Maintenance & Care

• Keep the pond basin filled with clean water to prevent the submersible pump from running dry.
• Periodically remove fallen leaves, twigs, and plant clippings to maintain clear water and keep pump intakes clear.
• Treat with a concrete-safe, bird- and wildlife-friendly algaecide to prevent green algae buildup on the rock ledges and basin floor.
